There has to be much more to this story…
Dr. George Pfaltzgraff, 64 of Iowa Falls, who remains an active member of the staff at Ellsworth Municipal Hospital, stands accused of sterilizing a woman despite her objections.
The Iowa Board of Medicine reports that a tubal ligation, performed on the woman last year, was done after the woman told the doctor that she did not want the operation. Pfaltzgraph has been charged with failing to conform to the minimal standard of acceptable and prevailing practice of medicine in Iowa, according to the Associated Press.
Although the exact details aren’t available in the minutes of the Wisconsin Medical Examining Board, a Dr. George Pfaltzgraff was given an administrative warning in 2002.
